The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This Danish documentary looks at six villages in Northwest Jutland where residents are taking initiative to keep rural life going. It shows how old farm buildings are being filled with new purposes and how locals work to develop their communities without nostalgia.

What happens

Et liv på landet er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2000, der er skrevet og instrueret af Jørgen Vestergaard. Samtidig med at der i Danmark produceres flere fødevarer end nogensinde før, nedlægges mange landejendomme. Landsbyerne er ikke ligefrem truet af affolkning, men huse og driftsbygninger fyldes med nyt indhold. Filmen sætter fokus på seks landsbyer i Nordvestjylland, hvor beboerne har erkendt, at skal der ske noget, må de selv tage initiativet. Her er ingen landboromantik, men imponerende megen energi og vilje til at gå nye veje i forsøg på at udvikle livet på landet. I filmen Et rigtigt bondeliv blev 1940'erne og 1950'erne dokumenteret gennem ældre bønders tilbageblik. I denne film forsøger samme instruktør at finde nogle fællestræk ved den nye landbokultur i begyndelsen af et nyt årtusinde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
